Honestly, you have this problem because you put up with it, or are "forced" to use certain software. Why is it everytime I venture into Python, interesting language aside, there are always multitudes of dependency problems even tied to the OS? People put up with it. Choosing quality over fast-food is a choice. Languages such as golang has largely solved much of this while still being pretty portable, and devs are encouraged to minimize deps.

Of course fast-food is tempting and may taste good, but after a while of abstention, this fades away. But it's a choice, and one might miss some opportunities.




Python is really easy to use. I don't get what's the troubles?

    git clone https://example.com/myproject
    cd myproject
    /usr/bin/python3 -m venv env
    source ./env/bin/activate
    pip install requirements.txt
    python3 src/myapp.py
